that's what happened to the civil rights movement. we have thousands of community development organizations and communities of color. we have lots of local environmental justice organizations. we have lots of this local empowerment. we do not have a movement anymore. and i think it's important in terms of learning lessons that we not just replicate that all the time. not to just say we don't need local and problem and local ingenuity and all of that, but that will not be enough to take on the concentrated power that exists in this country right now. and last, i just want to say i think there are many opportunities for linking the folks who've been involved in occupying it the kind of initiatives that debra was talking about a very serious issue going on in the communities of color right now that could really be synergistic. i will mention 9,000 african american homeowners in detroit are suing morgan stanley. people that lost their homes deutsch for closure, and this isn't just going after the originators of the mortgages, but wall str

this is a fundamental issue about the civic duty that americans have along with their civil rights. so there is a second amendment, providing that the americans have the right to bear arms. and at the same time it has the language that the right to bear arms comes along with the civic duties. and that means we have to have responsible, reasonable laws. it doesn't mean that all people can own all sorts of guns. so why do you get the pushback from democrats? i think the simple answer is because there is a lot of money in assault weapons. and that money carries with it enormous, power with the lobbyists, and that shows up in republican and democratic offices. the pressure to allow gun manufacturers and dealers putting the guns on the street to continue to make the profits they want to make is an enormous pressure on republicans and democrats alike. and it will only change when the americans' feelings are stronger than that. >> in your article on melissa's point, you point out house republicans that are in certain states, 12 members in new jersey and new york. 13 pennsylvania, 44 more f
